First vacation taking two small boys.

Pros
- Small enough resort to not get lost in, big enough to explore.
- Food was great, high quality, varied and fresh. Buffet or themed restaurants. Adventurous enough for grown ups, basic enough for finicky kids.
- Found all staff we had contact with to be friendly and helpful. Language barrier not an issue.
- Kid friendly resort with lots of activities. Staff at Kids Club awesome.
- Where else can you go where Obama is your bartender. True Story.
-Three pools to choose from, each with their own vibe, but all kid friendly.

Cons
- Mattresses were uncomfortable. Also had issues with shower pressure and water temperature our entire stay (10 days).
-Little things, cheap plastic chairs on balcony, the kind that break if you lean back on too much. Not a deal breaker, just picky stuff.

Will most likely check out other options for a return but wouldn't rule it out, especially if they were to replace the mattresses and fix the water issues.

We wanted to go to the Bavaro Princess but we could'nt get a room so we stayed at the Caribe..we payed1080$ from Ottawa ( 22-29 jan)it is a 4* and from our experience it was worth our money...our room was in the Coralillo building, second floor it was close to everything( pool, beach,buffet and resto à la carte)the only resto we appreciated was the El Sombrero ( mexican) italian and chineese were ok but the buffet was better..we had great service from the lobby, thanks to Ruquina and the staff...

This resort had the worst staff and they were very rude and careless! They made you feel you were disturbing them in their personal conversation. When we ask the front desk for change in $1.00 bills they said they had none, we asked the bell boys same response, we ask the money exchange clerk, same response. The Sunwing Rep. ANNA was in it to make money off of you and charged us more that any other one. We were told to trust our Sunwing Rep.! What a mistake that was!
On a positive note, the dining room staf was awesome, helpful and cared for us, especially Rosary, Angelo and Angelina Garcia. Our room was adequate and Aurelia took good care of us.
The grounds were very well kept and the food was disgusting!
Overall we would NEVER go back to that resort and we are not sure about going back to the DR...

Had a great time at the Caribe Princess in Punta Cana One big Plus for this resort was the family room. It was good to have the extra room when with kids. The one bad thing that stands out was surf at the beach don't know if its like that all the time we went in July but the waves were not children friendly pretty big with a good under tow so it was not safe to let my son who is 8 to go in by himself. Also i noticed no bugs at night
